    中國(guó)的貨幣不僅歷史悠久而且種類(lèi)繁多,形成了獨(dú)特的貨幣文化。中國(guó)最早的貨幣是海貝,大概出現(xiàn)在夏代。到了春秋時(shí)期(the Spring Autumn Period),由于各個(gè)地區(qū)社會(huì)條件和文化的差異,人們使用不同的貨幣。秦朝的建立統(tǒng)一了中國(guó)混亂的貨幣系統(tǒng),人們開(kāi)始使用銅錢(qián)(copper coins)。北宋時(shí)期,世界上最早的紙幣交子(Jiaozi)出現(xiàn)了。白銀在明清時(shí)期成為了法定的流通貨幣,小額交易則往往用銅錢(qián)。貨幣的形式的不斷變化展現(xiàn)了中國(guó)商業(yè)的發(fā)展,是中國(guó)古代文明的重要組成部分。
